Keesh Deesh has always loved a great deal.

Growing up, it was just her and her mom, and that’s where she got her good financial sense. “We would always find deals or she would be like, ‘Hey, let’s go do this thing. It’s on sale,'” she says.

She carried those skills into adulthood. Like many people these days, she and her husband found themselves struggling to afford rent and food and bills, with expenses piling up. “We’re tired of living paycheck to paycheck, but we need necessities,” she thought. “I need to figure out how I can get necessities and not feel like I’m just drowning in my financial situation.”

That’s when she started couponing.

From dumpster diving for everyday food and clothing to reusing items indefinitely and even collecting rainwater for personal use,...

The TLC show Extreme Couponing took grocery shopping savings to an entirely different level. People would go to any lengths necessary to save a dollar and never pay full price at the store. They not only stuck to their shopping budgets, but they bought enough products to last for months or even years at a time.

Extreme Couponing aired for four seasons and featured people dedicated to saving as much money as possible. They treated couponing like a full-time job and would often walk out of the grocery store spending pennies or nothing at all. Their obsession knew no limits, and they would often hoard and stockpile products resembling a small grocery store, overtaking every square inch of space in their homes.

Warner Bros Discovery has finally nailed down plans to go the Fast route. Last year — in between an intense bout of cancellations and titles being pulled from their streaming home on HBO Max — the company announced plans to explore a free ad-supported television option (Fast). During the company's third-quarter earnings call, Warner Bros. Discovery chief David Zaslav made a point of saying that there's "a huge amount of content that's not even on [HBO Max/Discovery+] that's sitting with us that hasn't been put to monetize in the marketplace." In the spirit of cashing in, a new plan has been enacted. Over the next few months, 14 Warner Bros. branded Fast channels will arrive on Roku and Tubi.

Have you been longing to return to the days of cable television, with free TV shows being regularly interrupted by ads? Don't bother answering, because it's happening either way! The new Warner Bros Fast channels will feature popular titles including "Westworld,...
